HUMAN LIBRARY EVENT

Don’t judge a book by its cover!

What if you could talk and interact with a book?

Turn the pages of these human books and 'read' or hear about the different countries represented in our community.  Each station will feature a human book from a specific country where you can read and/or interact with the "book" (i.e., a person) and learn about different aspects from that country such as culture, language, cuisine and/or ask the book questions!

Benefits

  • Unjudge someone! 
  • Become a global citizen! 
  • Get to know about resources in your community for newcomers!
